Chloe Sevigny is a well known kook, she sucked cock irl on film in Brown Bunny and generally leans into the kookiness.

That painting represents the confusion, uncertainty, pain, and excitement as girls grow up, enter puberty, develop sexually, and leave a sheltered existence for a possibly hostile world. The artist juxtaposes the mundane (talking on the telephone, a sleepover) with scenes charged with tension and sensuality. The only color is bright red -- a girl's provocative menstruation that also evokes a crime scene and a witch burning at the stake, and an arm gripping the face on the left of the picture -- add to the sense of voyeurism and threatened violence, the unsettling feeling that these girls are unaware that they are not in control.

No background. I looked at it and thought about it without thinking of Trump or jews or feminazis for 20 seconds. It's not abstract. I'm not good at making up shit for truly abstract stuff -- which this artist, rita ackermann, also does. But she has a series of these paintings that feature "tinkerbell as lolita" type unsettling imagery.

It's obviously an inflated asset where rich people park their money. That doesn't mean it's good.

If you look at when art really took off in the 50s and 60s, it all came down to curators who were essentially promoters who partied with rich people. Some of the stories of how Jackson Pollack and Rothko got famous boil down to some Jew who bought up these paintings and befriended a lot of rich people and convinced them it was genius.

It's all based on seduction of the upper class and helping them find meaning through consumption. And the industry has remained robust. That doesn't mean any of this art is good it just means rich people value it.

If you look at private markets where the only customers are other rich people very weird things happen. If you went on the street and tried to sell modern art to regular people it wouldn't be worth anything to them. But because all the bidders here are billionaires the floor remains very high.

Women are both desired and ravaged, bloodied and beautiful. That woman in the foreground is both vulnerable and pretty, and she quietly, inwardly revels in both. She probably had mixed feelings about loving a man’s weight on her and wishing she didn’t. I don’t think the blood is something as literal as abortion (thanks tradcath baggage), but probably more about trying to draw the viewer into the abject. The girls playfully kissing in the background seems like a relatively straightforward withdrawal into the simplicity of feminine affection and flirtation without the raw violence (pleasurable and discomforting or even menacing) of real sexuality (with men, for pleasure, and by force). My reading is pretty gay, but if I’m on the right track and this is the sort of emotions behind it (painting or choosing it for your room), it’s not bad at all.
